Your point being what? Beware of bald asians carrying sports bags? I think we're all getting a bit bogged own in detail here.

For what it's worth, I don't like the term 'Islamofascist'. This is fascism, pure and simple. Fascism, as we should know, thrives in peasant societies where unchallenged patriarchal religious and social structures are the norm. Which is probably why fascism took hold in so many Catholic countries during the 20th century.

If there's any comfort in remembering that we are only a couple of generations away from that sort of behaviour ourselves, it may be that the peasant muslim world may be only a couple of generations behind us. Let's hope they can get there without the wars we fought among ourselves in the civilized world. I use that term without irony.
